Empress Bore Worm
A titanic acid worm burrows through stone trailing corrosive slime, and killing it too close showers everyone in a caustic burst of young.
A titanic acid-spewing worm that chews tunnels through earth and stone, its body swollen with the brood it carries. Kill one too close and the young burst out in a caustic spray.
In play
Viviparous Birth When killed, an empress bore worm violently expels the young it carries. These young erupt as a bore worm swarm in the empress bore worm's space. In addition, every creature within 20 feet takes 5d10 acid damage (DC 25 basic Reflex save) from the splatter of caustic viscera.
